The last accounts received from Jamaica and other places represent that the negroes were working peaceably.

DESTITUTE POLES.—Eight Polish refugees came to this office yesterday to ask Mr. Twyford's advice under the fol lowing distressing circumstances : After mentioning the destitute state in which they were, one of them presented the following paper to the Magistrate : " The London General Police Office. " At a time when all our compatriots are granted assist ance by the Government of this country, we undersigned Po lish refugees being deprivcd by the Council of the Literary Association of the pretended friends of Poland of all means of subsistence, and consequently by want of food, clothing, and lodgings, are compelled to be injurious to the society in which we live, and likewise to the cause of our unhappy country, spoliating the name of emigrant by the involuntary miscon duct to which we are now exposed, we thus pray the autho rities of London to take us into custody, and keep us in order to withhold us from unlawful actions—theft, murder, felony, and suicide, being the necessary consequences of the utmost misery in which we now remain. " London, Nov. 5, 1838. " JOSEPH GOLEJEThKI " ADOLPH CZAILINSKI STANISLAS LEMOWICE JEAN CZAPLINSKI ALEX. KEZEWSKI EDUARD RAJUNICE FELIX FLA SSMAN W. JOMASZEWSKI." Mr. TWYFORD asked what they bad been in the habit of re ceiving from the Association. One of the applicants said that for two years they had re ceived 10s. a-week, but they now received nothing, and were completely destitute. Mr. TWTFORD inquired if any reason had been given for stopping the payment of 10s. a week, and when it had been stopped? - - Applicant—The payment bas been stopped for about six weeks; and what we want is to have a particular reason as signed for doing so. Since the Government has given no support thirty-two have been struck off the list. Mr. TWYFORD—I understand you to say that you have suf fered ii,jur'es from some quarter or another, and you are des. titute ; and before being reduced to the last extremity you apply at this office to know how to act. The applicants said that that was just what they wanted. Mr. TWYFORD—Have you•been at any other office ? One of the applicants answered that they had not, being desired to apply to the Magistrates at this office first. Mr. TWYFORD—I can make no observation in regard to the Literary Association ; but being destitute, I apprehend you are entitled to pal ochial relief from the respective parishes in which yeu live. Have you had any communication with the Association ? Applicant—Yes, we have written; but have received no answer. Mr. TWYFORD—Where have you last slept ? Applicant—Some of us have slept in one parish and others in another ; but many, not having the mean. to pay for a bed, are too proud to go into lodgings without the pros pect of paying for them, and therefore walk the streets in the night. Mr. TWYFORD said that the only thing that he could advise them to do was, to apply for parochial relief; but in the meantime it might do them some service if their distressed situation was made known to the public through the medium of the newspapers. The applicants then thanked the Magistrate for his atten tion to their case, and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Davy, Frederick Bowman, and John Harvey, the latter a tobacconist in Bear.strect, were charger) with being jointly concerned in assaulting the police. After heating evi dence the Magistrates inflicted the fine of 30s. and costs on Bowman; and taking into consideration the excitement which prevailed during the disturbance, were of opinion that the police might possibly have been mistaken as to the indivi duals who were taking an active part in the affray, and there fore they ordered the other two to be discharged. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--On Saturday evening a musical piece, in two acts, called Barbara ; or. The Bride of a Dag. was produced at this theatre. The dra matic portion of the entertainment is by Mr. Kenny, and the music is by Mr. Boildieu (son of the late celebrated composer), adapted to the English words by Mr. Hullah. The drama is of very slight construction, and the music is light and agreea ble, containing some pretty airs and well-constructed cho ruses. A glee, in particular, was exceedingly good, and ex tremely well received. The principal vocal parts were well performed by Miss Rainforth, Fraser, and Burnett. The niece was announced for repetition amid applause, mingled with dis approbation. Even in its original form it is but a trifle, and the process of transmutation, as may be supposed, has not added to its importance. We have no objection to the im- - portation and naturalization of the chefs d'auvreof the German, Italian, or French stage ; but we think our native composers (especially such composers as Mr. Hullah, who is a musician of decided genius) might be better employed than in vamping up for the English stage, works much inferior to what they themselves are able to produce-y-works, indeed, which have no recommendation but the single circumstance of their being foreign. ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.— On Tuesday afternoon, as the train was on its journey from Birmingham, the engine ran off the line between Rugby and Denbigh-hall, with the whole of the carriages attached to it, which, from the force, were embedded nearly two feet in the earth. The alarm may be imagined ; but, wonderful to re late, not one person received the slightest injury. The guard was instantly despatched on horseback to Stony Stratford (a distance of thirteen miles) for another engine, which arrived with all possible speed, and . the carriages having in the mean time been re-placid on the I.ne, the train proceeded to its destination, but did not reach Euston-square until five hours and a half after its proper time. The carriages received but little injury. SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS.—A little before 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, a hackney-coach drove up to the entrance of St-George's Hospital, by Hyde-park-corner. The driver having opened the door, a person of gentlemanly appearance alighted, and, ascending the steps rapidly, rang violently at the bell. The night porter of the institution having answered the summons, the gentleman, who was in a very excited state, said that a friend of his, who was in the coach, had just preViously made an attempt upon his own life by cutting his throat, and it was necessary that he should be immediately admitted. The wounded party was assisted out of the coach by his friend and the porter ; he was in a very exhausted state, and bleeding from a wound in the throat. He was instantly conveyed to Winchester ward, and Messrs. Chappell and Hewitt, two of the house surgeons, were promptly in attendance upon him. The wound, which he had inflicted on himself, was about two inches in width, but not of that depth to divide the windpipe or principal arteries. After the part was sewed up and properly attended to, the patient had some stimulants administered to him, after which he was left in a comparatively composed state. The gentleman who accompanied him to the hospital at first refused to give any particulars whatever as to the cir cumstances which led his friend to make the attempt upon his life, or, indeed, the names or residence of either himself or the wounded man. The porter, however, urging the necessity of it in accordance with the rules of the institution, he at length stated the name of his unfortunate frien 1 to be Le Sage, but still refused to give his profession or residence; and, on being asked his own name and address, he, after some reluctance, said that his name was Collard, and that he held a situation in the Bank of England. On the following morning the patient was sensible and composed. On observing his name hanging over his bed, as is customary, he tore it down, and told the nurse that his name was not Le Sage, and endeavoured to avoid any questions that were put to him respecting the causes which led to his unfortunate condition. In the course of Wednesday and Thursday a lady of fashionable exterior visited him, but she avoided all inquiry that was made upon the subject. The patient is going on favourably. TORY JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.—The gross im propriety—to designate it by no worse a term—committed by the Tory Justices of the Peace of Renfrewshire, when they in terfered in a judicial case pending before the proper tribunal, has been already laid before our readers. A -complaint was lodged before the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, against the Sheriff Substitnte of Renfrewshire, for delay of-justice. Whether this complaint was well founded or ill founded remained for the proper authority to decide ; yet. the Tory Justices of Renfrewshire, without evidence, without inquiry, influenced apparently by a mean party spirit, addressed the Judge in favour of the accused, and in langua ge designed to produce an unfavourable impressi o n against th character of the accuser. The complaint has been found proved, and Lord John Russell has, much to his creditt, tendered to the Renfrewshire Justices a reproof which must tingle in the ears of those among them who feel as the Ma gistrates of a county ought to feel. We refer our readers, with much pleasure, to the unanswerable speech of Mr. Graham Speirs, at the Renfrewshire Quarter Sessions yester day.—Glasgow Chronicle. Eight London policemen arrived at Rotherham on Sunday last, to undertake the direction of the force of special constables upon the line of railway. We believe the mea sures taken will prove to be of such a character, that any riotous proceedings on the part of the labourers will be re pressed on their first appearance. The policemen were imme diately sworn in by the Magistrates. —Sheffield Independent. THROWING OFF THE MASK. —When a man seeks to dissuade you from immediately undertaking a compa ratively easy task, under the pretext that one palphly more difficult is easier, it is ten chances to one that he is aware he is speaking nonsense, and has a reason for doing it. "It is more easy to get Universal Suffrage," say the Birmingham agitators, "than to get the repeal of the Corn-laws." In other words—it is more easy to bring about a change in the Consti tution than to get the repeal of one administrative law. In other words, the more difficult is easier of attainment than the less difficult. From the beginning we felt a suspicion that a friendly feeling towards the Corn-laws was at the bottom of this unblushing enunciation of a self-evident absurdity. This is no longer a suspicion. The mask has been thrown off by the Birniingham Journal's article, which is " a putrid hachis of all of the often refuted fallacies of our landlord legislators." —Glasgow Argus. PETTICOAT POLITICIANS.—At Mvttongatc, on Monday evening, there was a strong muster of females. A Mr. Jacksontroionkcipthleescohfaigr,ooadndgoNiver.rnLimnint e a x s p p la e i e n c e h d , w to h t i h th e the Hull his Advertiser p says was "useful, and m ost unexception able in tone — it was received throughout with unbounded ap. plauge."

MONEY AND CITY NEWS. dine. On the contrary, persons in the City have been consi-. derably surprised at the contradictions to the statements in the City article which appeared to-day in the report of the Liver pool Cotton Market, for whilst our Contemporary speaks of the " juggle having been seen through," the Liverpool letter repeats that " there has been an active demand for cotton throughout the week, which has restored the market to the level of the highest rates ten days since ; the week closing with great firmness at an advance of kd. per lb." Now, this appears in the same number of the Times with the account of the manner in which the cotton market has b•,on so mysteriously raised by the " juggling" of Mr. Biddle, which juggling was successful, because there was not " time to write a lever" by the Great Western ; and yet the prices of cotton are at the highest level of the last ten days, although there Ke subsequent ad vices so many days later from New York than those by which the " juggle' was effected, and which juggle has been " seen through," according to the City article of the Times. Such is the mass of nonsense and contradictions in which our Con temporary bewilders himself when attempting to fathom the mvsterious operations of this dreadful Mr. Biddle. It is dear that the subsequent advices from America must have satisfied the holders of-cotton that the crops are deficient in the United States, as otherwise the advances consequent on the receipt of the first intelligence by the Great Western steam-ship could not have been sustained, as reported by the Liverpool Correspondent of the Tithes. There are also numerous Ame rican gentlemen now in En land who have lately visited the cotton growing Stltes, whose reports are uniform as to the comparative deficiency of the crops of the present year. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.:—The Funds were not so well supported to-day, and a certain uneasiness appeared to hang about the market. Consols closed at 931 to for Money and Account. The sales of Bank Stock continued to-day, and caused a further decline to 200 to 1 ; India Stock was 259 k to 2601;• Exche quer Bills, 665. to 68s. premium. In the early part of the day the Railway Share Market was lively. Great Western at one time were 15 premium buyers, but at the close of business declined to 13 to 143; London and Birmingham, 84 to 86; North Midland, 2 to 3; Man chester and Birmingham, -3 to 1 premium ; Greenwich, 34 to 21; Brighton, 2a to a; Blackwall, 2 to If discount. In addition to the other joint-stock banking establishments of Paris, Bordeaux, and elsewhere formerly alluded to, the Marseilles papers contain a flattering account of one lately started in that city, under the designation of Comptoir d'Escompte. According to the statement of its operations for the first quarter, as laid before the shareholders, th e discount of bills payable in the city itself amounted to upwards of 5,500,000 f., and of other domestic and fo reign paper to above 2,500,000 f., making a total of more than 8,000,000 f. It is remarke:fas a proof of its prosperity, that the bank of Laffitte, with a capital eight times as large, had in the first three months after its commencement discounted corn_ mercial paper to no greater extent than 17,000,000 f., or about double—a mode of comparison by the way, which shows the spirit of Competition in the paper money-market to be already active, and how it is excited. Upon the 8,000,000 discounted it is stated that only five bills had been protested, and these were taken up by their endorsers within the 24 hours. It is observed, that the business done would have been more exten sive, but for the considerable exportations of specie which took place at the precise period of its establishment, as usual at that season of the year. This had led to a dulness of trade generally, which was more sensibly felt at Marseille s than else where, from the eircumsunce that the Bank o! ,France bad at the same time raised the rate of its discounts to 5 per cent. It does not appear, as no details are given on that head, whether the Marseilles institution was a bank of issue as well as discount, although the fact might perhaps be inferred from the manner in which the constant drain of specie outwards is dwelt upon, " every packet boat," it is stated, " carrying away out of circulation many hundreds of thousands of francs," from which is deduced the public utility of the bank as a means of supplying the deficiency by paper issues, or in some other way. _ _ FROM THE " COURRIER BELGE," 28TH OCT. 1838.—DocEs AND PUBLIC STORE MiCSES—APHoP,S OF THE THAMES HAVEN.—The advantages of railroads are beginning to be understood in Belgium, and on the Continent generally, especially as relates to the increased circulation of money which the carrying trade affords; and the very important un dertaking of ti.c Thames Haven Dock, at the mouth of the Toames, of which our readers have already had an opportunity , of intimating the inaalculable advantages to the Belgian com merce, which in a manner acquires the monopoly of the portations and exportations of the Continent by this addition to its railroads. If Belgium yet rival the foreigner, we may c - msole, ourselves in-seeing the establishment of the Thames Haven Dock, at the entrance of the Thames, which in a man ner forms the link that unites the commerce of the Continent with England, at the same time that it joins the Ostend and Antwerp Railroad w!th the London. The formation of this establishment appears to us of so indisputable an advantage ; the benefits resulting from it to Belgium so aelf.:evident ; and the future prospects of this speculation, considered in a finan cial point of view, so certain, that we think it very probable our Government will profit by the opportunity, and possess itself of a part of the remaining unappropriated shares. We shall, at all events, take care to keep our readers informed upon this subject. MR. THEODORE HOOK'S NEW NOVEL.—The witty author of " Sayings and Doings" has just supplied the mirthful public with more food for laughter, by the production of" Gurney Waded," a sequel to his popular "Gilbert Gurney." To say that Gurney in his connubial state is quite as full of jest as ever, is sufficient, we think, to make every one hasten to peruse the amusing result of his matrimonial experience. Foreigners accuse us of being a melancholy people ; but in what other country can they point to such funds of drollery, and so just and happy an enjoyment of them as England can boast of, even in " Gilbert Gurney" and his.nredecessorS alone —which contain as much humour as all " Paul de Kock" put together, without the smallest tinge of that wtiter'a dangerous ribaldry. Their perfect freedom from all pruriency, even of imagination, is a point that has not been sufficiently noticed by the critics of Mr. Hook's admirable works. CROTCHETS IN THE AIR—MR. POOLE'S AC COUNT OF tits BALLOON TRIP. —The public will be delighted that Mr. Poole went up, and that he came down safe—no matter how—for so they are put into poss,7ss' an of about a hundred pages of more sprightly writing than has appeared for many a long day. Our author, , ahohad thy' singular for tune to float over London and its viciniorfor three hours, assumed the character of Asmodeus in the air, and devoted to satirizing the faults, the follies, and the vices of the metropo lis. that time which, wit.h 'a more favourable wind, would bare sufficed him to travel in his balloon far beyond the sound of Bow bells. Why so employed at such ,a moment ? Because (we suppose), though lie had always thought ill of the frail of his fellow-men, he had never before felt how much he was above them-110%v completely he looked down upon them. The progress of joint-stock banking in France has been ad verted to on various occasions as a subject of considerable in terest with reference to its probable bearings on the circula tion, both paper and metallic, not of France and England only, but of the commercial world generally. In proportion as a paper system not confined to the Bank of France only, as formerly, makes ground, and continues to obtain beyond a eel.• tain point, it is obvious that the large stock of the precious metals, always necessarily retained for the purposes of internal circulation, when that was purely metallic or nearly so, will be gradually diminished by almost all the extent to which it has been replaced by paper. It will be more readily exported to other parts where the slightest profit can be made by the traffic, because capitalists and bankers, no longer solely dependent upon it for the exclusive transaction of dale money business, as heretofore, will be tempted to ok upon it as so much dead stock at home bearing no interest or profit. It must be evident, however, that h orn woful exp( rience the people of France will be disposed to view this new sort of circulation with a certain distrust, and the slightest revulsion in money and commercial affairs would be sufficient to create a panic and a run for sw.eie that w,,uld overthrow the new paper system en tirely, or retard i s further progress for many years. The Lirger profits to be derived from trading in paper, that is, almost in tact without real capital, may stimulate the new Joint stock Banks of France to the same kind of ruinous competition with each other which at various times here, and in the United States more recently, bas led to such disastrous consequences. It is clear the system is gaining in France with capitalists and speculators, if n t with the community at large.

POST.—The, reports which have been current in the City this morning relative to the movement of the Russian fleet seem to have arisen from an article in the Odessa Journal of the 19 h ult., which states that a squadron under the com mand of Rear- Admirel Artiuko, consisting of the line-of btttle ships Warsaw and Empress Maria, of 120 guns, and of the 'Adrianople, Tachosme, Anapa, Eustaphe, and Pamial, each 84 guns, had come to anchor off that place in order to l'and troops, when, after they had completed the works at Se bastopol, required by the Government, they would return to their winter quarters. The quantity of grain which had been, and was to be shipped from Odessa, was about 800,000 quarters, principally for th.s country and Italy. From Copenhagen we learn that on the 16th of October the ship Elbe, which bad the emigrants 6om Jutland, who seem to have united themselves in order to settle in the state of Tamaulipas, belonging to the Mexican Union, sailed from Aarbuss. They consist of artisans of different descripti:ins. Considerable interest has been created to-day from the cir cumstance that a new company has been introduced to the notice of the mercantile intetests connected with the trade to South America, which promises to effect a corcplet, revolution in the transit between this portion of Europe and the rich countries bordering upon the Pacific. The merit of this en terprise is due to the great exertions of Mr. Whcelnright, from which it may now be expected that a free communica tion between Valparaiso and Panama, embracing all the prin cipal ports on the coast, will be carried on under the sanction of the local Governments, in conjunction with her Majesty's packets in the Atlantic. By this project, through the Isth mus of Darien, the voyage from England to Lima will be per formed in about thirty days. and to New South Wales in abou seventy days, instead of four months.

NEW COLLEGE AT BATII.—The inhabitants . of Bath are about to cause to ba erected, on the heights nrar this city, a new College, to be called Queen's College. It is to be in connection with the Uoiversities of Oxford and Cam bridge, and the routine of study is to include every branch of learning and science taught there. The project is to be car ried into effect by transferable shares of 1001. each, bearing five per cent. interest. The designs and plans for the build ' _ ing are preparing under the direction of Mr..

It was conveyed, wrapped up, as it had been left, in 'ome old flannel, to the police station, and from thence to St. George's workhouse. On Saturday morning a gentleman named Heasten. residing in Upper Spring-street, Bryanston•square, was found in his bed coviTed with blood. It was at first thought that he had committed suicide, but medical assistance having been pro cured, it was found that he had ruptured a blood-vessel, from the effects of which he shortly afterwards expired. MR. PAULTON'S LECTURES ON THE CORN LAWS —These lectures, delivered in the Corn Exchange on the last two Thursday Evenings, were of an extremely impor tant and interesting character. Indeed they were so full of valuable truths, ably enunciated and forcibly conveyed to the auditory, that we feel it impossible to do any thing like justice to them in the space to which our reports would be necessarily limited ; and we think that the Lecturer would greatly enlarge their utility, by publishing them in a separate form. The second lecture, on Thursday evening last, was even more nu merously attended than the first. At its conclusion, Mr. James Wheeler, printer, Whittle-street, attempted to per suade the auditory that nothing would do but ITniVersal Suf frage, and that it was the cure-all ; but this was too much for the good sense of those present, who would not hear Mr. Wheeler. A vote of thank', on the motion of Mr. J. B. Smith, the Chairman, was given to Mr. Paulton, for his able and valuable lectures.—Manchester Guardian HERAL D.—A strong feeling of anxiety continues to per vade all the leading classes here upon the very . important questions of our present and future policy with Russia, as well as that which is to be exercised towards our North American colonies in the case of Lord Durham's return, and towards the United States should the boundary question not be satis factorily arranged. Without pretending to refer to the nu. merous idle rumours which have been circulated here to-day, it will be sufficient to remark that the circumstances to which we have already referred have given rather a downward ten dency to the public securities of this country, as will be seen by our subj o i ne d qu o t a ti ons . Amongst in thet mostthe public securities,immediate causes is uneasinessof thefact that to day to the speculators fair samples of wheat have commanded better prices than on Monday last, by from Is. 6d. to 2s. per quarter ; and as up wards of 800,000 quarters of wheat have been and are shipped lately from Od e ssa to Italy and this country. it m a y Le anti cipated that large entries of foreign corn will be made in the course of a kw weeks, of which the balance will come to this country. A prospectus for a New Steam Navigation Company, en titled the " Pacific Steam Navigation Company , " has ap peared to-day, and created much interest the mercantile circles connected with the countries on the shores of the Pa cific. The object of this Company is to establish steam na vigation along the coast from Valparaiso to Panama. em tracing all the principal ports in Chili, Bol ivia, Peru, Ecuador, and the West coast of New Grenada, and in con junction with her MajeF-ty's packets in the Atlantic, to pro mote a more rapid and regular communication with Europe by the Isthmus of Darien, by which it is ascertained, on the best authority, that the voyage from England to Lima can be performed in about 30 days, and to our Altatralian settle ments in about 70 days, instead of four months, points as desiderati that can require no comment when the mercantile interests of a nation like this become involved in the question.

POOR VAN AMBURGII.—This daring man is not, as is generally believed, the owner of the wild beasts who perform at Drury-lane Theatre. They belong to an indi vidual named Titus—not " The Clement"—for all that he allows Van Amburgh for nightly running the risk of being torn to pieces by these lions, tigers, and leopards, is 5/. a week! Van Amburgh has his sandals, toe and heel, armed by-a sharp and powerful spur, with which he pricks his grisly companions into apparent submission ; and his head is rubbed with some unguent of which the beasteses are remarkably fond, as is seen by their frequent licking it—an act which is sup posed by the spectators—good easy people—to proceed from pure affection. The manager taking for his motto," No Song no Supper," does not allow the be utes any witte!s until after they have performed; it is then they are fed They are kept the whole of the day behind the scenes in the dark, and it is wonderful that the sudden exposure to the glare of the theatre, and especially of the foot-lights, does not turn them mad. In the more congenial atmosphere of Astley's, they were com paratively well off, for they were during the day in the light and air. Van Amburgh says he will never be able to tame one of the tigers, it growls most ferociously at him; the, unfortunate man had his leg lately torn, but whether by this amiable cub, or one of the oth.2.rs, we know not. —Literary GazPtie. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. steady demand is continued for cotton. The sales were 5.000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 were American, and 400 Surat, to speculators. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 2.--The Sugar Market is dull in the extreme; the speculations of the monopolist have failed. and the delusive and exaggerated accounts of the temper and industry of the emancipated slaves have proved abortive ia cresting an artificial scarcity, and raising prices to a height for which there existed no justifiable cause. Our authentic information, received through a channel in direct communication with the Colonies in question, and which has been corroborated by all that has been published from other sources, enabled us to put before our readers. the real feelings of the people, and the true condition of, the mar ket ; and in the recollection of some we may have revived the old adage, " Believe a merchant and die a begfiar." Sugars ma y be quoted 2s. to 3s. lower, with a decided ' tendency to a further decline. The relative stocks now and this time twelve-months have very considerably increased, being now 16,600 hhds. and 18 000 mats more than last year ; whereas, about a month ago. there was only 3,000 hhds. 2;200 mats surplus.—Bristol Mercury.

We trust the Rev. Mr Evers, the committing Magistrate, will not be suffered to remain longer in a situation for which he has proved himself most C H RON IC L E.—Considerable surprise was occasioned to day in the English Stock Market by the sudden depression of Bank Stock to the extent of nearly 21., in consequence of some very extensive sales, especially as they were understood to be on account of a proprietor who has hitherto been a large bolder and a warm supporter of of the i ns ti tut i on. The clos ing price for money was 200 k to 2011 ex -di v., and for the account 201 to 202. We have; so repeatedly p o i n t e d out t h e impossibility of the present extravagant dividend of 8 per cent. being continued for any length of time by drafts upon the " rest" or surplus capital, and what must ultimately be the consequence of such a fallacious system, that it is unnecessary to dwell upon the matter any further at present, and if the public have been taken by surprise by the present fall it is no fault of ours; and unless the Directors determine to lower the dividend upon Bank Stock, it is evident the present price cannot be maintained. In other respects there is no alteration of moment in the English Stock Market. Consols closed at 93 to a for money and the account; Exchequer Bills, 66 to 68 prom. ; India Stock, 259,i to 2601 for money, and 260 to 261 for the account; and India Bonds, 61 to 63 prem. The Times has again been furnishing another budget of Merry- Anthew ism this morning about the cotton spe culations of the Bank of the United States. The ad vances in the price of cotton at Liverpool, which all the rest of the world imagined to be attributable to the diminished growth of the plant in the present summer, has suddenly been found out by the Times to have been owing entirely to the manoeuvres of Mr. Biddle and the friends of the Bank of the United States. Previoui to the sailing of the Great Western steam-ship prices began to rise in New York, and, according to our Contemporary, the scheme was concocted with so much adroitness that there was not even " time to write a letter" by the Great Western, in order to prevent the effects of these ma. chinations on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean.

TATTERSALL' s_ygsTERDA, --- A considerable portion of the afternoon was occupied in settling for the last day's racing at Newmarket ; many speculators, however, did not take the trouble to settle either in person or by agent, so that their accounts are likely enough to stand over till the spring ; Great complaints were made on this neglect. Several bets were made on the Derby ; Accelerator, Erin-go-Bragh, and Zimmer man were in request, but Epidaurus fell back several points, and 4 to 1 was betted against the whole lot.

Last night some stanch friends of Parliamentary Reform dined together «t Radley's Hotel, to celebrate the forty-fourth anniversary of the acquittal of Hardy, Horne Tooke, &c., from the charged high treason. Major REVELL was in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN proposed the first toast, " The Sovereignty of the People," and he contended that no Government could be powerful and beneficial that did not result from " Univer sal Suffrage"—that was not founded or " the sovereignty of the people."—( Loud cheers.) It was greeted with three times three and loud applause. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Queen and an honest Ministry." He was grateful, all Radical as he was, to Lord Grey for having introduced the measure of Reform ; but he must say that for the Whigs to retain power they must b of the " movement" party.—(Cheers.) It did very well for the Tories ito proclaim " as you were," but that would not do for the Whigs, if they desired the support of the people.— ( Hear.) The Whigs had the trumps in their hands, and it would not do for them, like old ladies, to change „teats in order to improve their luck. Why should they not, at the commencement of the next Session, introduce a Bill for tri ennial Parliaments, to which the people had as much right as the Queen to her throne ? Another, regarding pensioners having seats in the House ; and a third, for the Ballot—and stand or fall by those measures ?—( Hear.) He had no great faith in the Ballot as regarded England, but it would be of immense use to Ireland. And if they could not carry those • measures, then the Ministers ought to leave the carrying on of the Government to those who chose to undertake it.- 7 ( Hear.) Mr PRITCHARD proposed the next toast—" The Purity of the Trial by Jury.' Ishe particular object which they had met to celebrate was the triumph of 1793-4, when the tyran nous objects sought to be effected through the forms of the law were defeated by virtue of a jury.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Memory of Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, John Thelwall, John Augustus Bonney, Stewart Kyd, Richard Hodgson, Thomas Hol croft, Jeremiah Joyce, Thomas Wardle, Matthew Moore, John Baxter, and John Richter," requesting that it might be received in solemn silence. He spoke 'highly, from his own personal knowledge. of several of the individuals named in the toast ; and, from his personal knowledge, arid all he could learn, he had every reason to believe that all those in dividuals possessed the most virtuous minds, and the most honest intentions,—( Hear.) Counsellor Erskine had told him th it if there had been a verdict of " Guilty," there were 400 warrants ready to be issued to victimise and destroy some of the best men in E.igland. He had iinagined that state ment to be the result of the exaggerated zeal of the Coun sel ; but Mr. Humphreys (Mr. Er,ltitte's clerk) had con firmed the statement, adding that he had the list, and that one day it should b, pub'iitied. Unfortunately, Mr. Hurn phre)s had died without the list being made public; and he now feared that it never would be made public. Mr. Corroca proposed " The " Liberty of the Press." He did so with great pleasure, as he felt assured that by such power slaves might work out their freedom, and freemen be enabled to advance their own rights, and issist these who were struggling for liberty. The toast was enthusiastically greeted. The CHAIRMAN tivn gave " The memory of Margarot, Gerald, Skirveu, Muir, and Palmer, victims to the arbitrary sentences of a vindictive Scotch Court, in 1794," which was feelingly honoured in solemn silence. Mr. HEPPLE proposed the next toast—" Radical Reform." —( Loud cheers.) There were appended to the toast these elements—" the Extension of the Suffrage, Equal Represen tation, Annual Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot." They had his decided support, and he thought that " the extension of the suffrage" was wisely put at the head of the list. Mr. GALLOWAY rose to propose a toast respecting an In stitution that bad been of the greatest benefit to this coun try from 1792 till 1798, he meant " The London Corres ponding Society."—(Loud cheers.) . It' had nobly done its duty through a most persecuting period of our history ; it had been a school which taught men their rights, and above all that the Commons' Mouse ought to represent the whole people. It taught also the principles of Universal• Suffrage and Annual Parliaments; but the Ballot, requisite as it was, certainly was not taught by that body. He gave an impres sive description of the Society's proceedings, until at last the boroughmongering Parliament put it do - vn by name in 1798, after various efforts to destroy it by other means. In propos ing this toast, he had great pleasure in saying that though 45 years had passed over his head since the successful result of the trials which they had met to commemorate, he was as firmly convinced as ever of the necessity of Radical Reform— (Cheers)—and that without it there was no security for good Government. Mr. . R. TAYLOR proposed " The Cause of Civil and Reli gious Liberty all the world over." He alluded to the recent case of the poor widow who had been cited before the Bishop of Winchester's Court, on account of a .churchyard inscrip tion, and said that they ought to exert themselves to assist the widow under such priestly persecution, and to make the case known to the country an - t the Bishop.—( Hear.) Mr. PRITCHARD (of Doctors' Gnomons), without reference to any professional emoluments, should be most ready to assist in the furthering of such object.—(l2leers.) The toast was most enthusiastically honoured. A GENTLEMAN (with reference to what had boen said about the 400 warrants) observed, that during the three days that the Duke of Wellington was in power, on the temporary re. tirement of Earl Grey, there were twenty-seven warrants made out to arrest the leading members of the political unions in the midland district—a fact that was mentioned by Mr. Joseph Parkes in the presence of 150,000 people, and to which be now referred to show, that if the Tories could gain the ascendant it would be found that the old tyrannous spirit had not been destroyed. Thanks having .been voted to the Chairman, &c., the meeting separated. MURDER AT BIRMINGIIAM.—An inquest was held on Thursday last at the Sailor's Return, Birmingham, upon the body of a young woman named Ann Evans, who was found drowr•ed in the Warwick Canal. It appeared from the evidence that Abraham Hollyoaks (now in custody), had kept company with deceased for nearly three years, and that al though they had occasionally some slight altercations they were much attached to each other. On Tuesday the prisoner spent the- whole afternoon at the Malt Shovel public-house, and left there at half-paq ten o'clock at night, and went to visit the deceased at her mother's house. The prisoner was rather fresh. At one o'clock in the morning the deceasiA's mother got out of bed aid went down stairs, and told the p.i soner it was time for him to g home, and for the diughter to be in bed. The prisoner mad no reply, hut appeared sulky. The Mother ',gain said, " Abraham, arc you going, or if you don't I will charge the watch an with you ?'' He replied, " Charge the own imps." In a shert dem after the prisoner left, and Anne followed him into the entry, where they stopped a few minute•, and he started to go up Coventry street, and Ann followed him She asked him if he was going home, and he told her 'he was going to meet two gentlemen. She said to him, " Where you go, I will go." Ho tried to persuade her to go home, but she would not. They then went on along the towing path, until they came under Great Barr-street Bridge. He then said, " Ann, are you going home?" She said, again, " Where you go, I will go." He then said, " Well, then, here goes ;" and he plunged into the water, and Ann plunged in after him. The prisoner got out himself, but the deceased was found drowned. Up o n being taken into custody, the prisoner said that what he had done was owing to the mother threatening to charge him, and nothing else.. After two days' investigation of the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the prisoner. Last week Mr. John Bartrnm, of Milk-street, in this city, butcher, slaughterd a cow, purchased vf, and fed on the farm of Mr. Robert 'Reeks, Topsham-road.
